Key West Here We Come!

It gets a little slow around here this time of year, so rather than sitting around waiting for the phone to ring, we’ve decided to take a little tour. That’s right, we’re closing up shop starting Monday, December 8th, hopping on our touring bikes and heading south.

Mark, John, Jeremy and myself will be taking a four day tour (about 280 miles, give or take) down to Key West. We’ll start at Fort Meyers, end up at Key West (of course, a day of relaxation will be in order). Then, we’ll take a boat back up to Fort Meyers and be back in the office Monday morning December 15th.

Along the way, we’ll keep a journal and snap some pictures and give you all a glimpse into the fun. And while it is going to be a blast, it will also give everybody a better look at the new Bella ATT’s that will be available in May. Below is a complete rundown of the bikes we’ll be riding:

I bike around Key West—I have a vacation home in Old Town. As you probably know, Route 1 is no pleasure for biking coming in to Key West Around mile post 15 there is a bike path for about 5 miles on the north side of the Route 1. I met someone on the bike path—a locale–and I asked him where to bike and why he does not bike on Route 1. He said he was an over-the-highway trucker and he knows what their like and therefore does not think it is safe to use Route 1. Key West itself is not a great biking place, unless you are just peddling around so to speak. Sorry I am not in the Conch Republic when you will be there so I could have invited you over to the house. I just bought the new Corsa S/S down to Key West for Thanksgiving week. Great bike. I will be leaving it at the house so I can use it when I am in Key West.
